Aletha Mae, "call me Letha" - is a strange and wondrous woman. Older than she looks, by far. I would say she is anywhere from 26 to 39. She is a truck stop momma, and a spicy strange one at that. She was killed in the bathroom of the cafe she worked at, along Route 66. She died in the 1970s, probably around 72 or 73. She LOVES old bluesy rock and anything by Elvis. Letha is very much connected to nomads, free spirits, and hippy type people. She was heavy into the biker-drug scene, and she was very popular with the truckers. She is so different from what most people expect when they look at her. The thing is, we know that Aletha Mae has seen a lot of bad stuff in her life - she has seen shoot-outs, murders, and worse - being a female back in those days, and being involved in the scene back when it was very dangerous - it takes a toll on a person. She looked older than she was, even when she died, the officer on scene assumed she was in her 50s, but she wasn't - she just looked like "miles of bad road" (her words). Letha has a lot of PTSD from the life she lived and the things she has seen. She has a permanently broken heart, her brother died in prison, her first husband disappeared in Mexico. She lived in a chaotic time. She told us she chose this vessel because she never had a doll growing up. Her family was dirt-poor in Las Vegas, her daddy ran the family down with his drinking and womanizing. Her mother was an alcoholic. It is easy to see how she fell into the trouble she lived in. In the years prior to her murder, she had been waitressing and facilitating pills for truckers at the truck stop. She says she might have made one of them mad when she refused his advances. She was found raped and murdered in the bathroom behind the cafe. Letha had a heart of gold, she trusted the wrong men but usually had enough survival instinct to stay alive. Not that time, I guess. Sometimes we can tell those memories creep up, or maybe she reverts back to her pill-haze, cuz sometimes her energy is super creepy and shady. But it passes. Almost like she is going through something spooky all over again. But then she snaps out of it. just like the friendliest waitress at any truck stop, Letha loves to chat, she wants to know your story and she will tell you hers. And we do feel like she talks to us like we are her customers like she is working for a tip. Strange and interesting. My favorite kind of people.

IMPORTANT - If you look at a spirit doll and feel a tug in your heart, that is how you know the doll is meant for you. You will feel it in your soul. I can reserve a doll for you up to 6weeks while you decide. Email me with any questions you have regarding this doll, or haunted dolls in general. There is so much more to say but I am limited to what is allowed per Etsy Guidelines.

This doll came from Lisa's personal collection. She has curated her dolls from around the world. Some picked up while she was on assignment overseas, and some were given to her. Some of them called out to her from second hand shops. She studies them carefully and observes them for months before making any final assessments on their personality or behavior. Lisa's collection of Haunted and Enchanted dolls are some of the most intriguing in the world.

You are buying a doll. It will come shipped to you, well wrapped and insured. Per Etsy rules, I must tell you that all items in the Haunted section are for entertainment purposes only.

This Privacy Policy describes how and when I collect, use, and share information when you purchase an item from me, contact me, or otherwise use my services through Etsy.com or its related sites and services.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that I do not own or control, including Etsy or any third party services you access through Etsy. You can reference the Etsy Privacy Policy to learn more about its privacy practices.

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of jewelry, for example), if you contact me directly.

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gift wrapping and packaging

I now offer gift wrapping for a fee. Please contact me and tell me if you want Holiday, Birthday, blank colored paper, etc. I love to wrap and will make it look cute! I send small items like jewelry in a small gift box. I send wrapped dolls in recycled doll boxes, wrapped, then placed inside another box.

Special Info on Haunted Dolls

#1) Haunted Dolls are for Adult Collectors, not children. Please do not buy anything haunted for children. I will not sell to those under the age of 18
#2) Spirits are just like people. When you purchase a haunted doll from me, it is an adoption. Give it some time, and lots of love, and you will get back exactly what you put into the relationship. Your experience will depend on many factors, I suggest researching haunted dolls and the phenomena surrounding them to be sure you are ready for the commitment. I can not and will not guarantee that your doll will "perform" for you.
#3) I am not responsible for any paranormal activity you may experience when you invite a spirit into your home. Please research prior to adoption.

UPDATED RESERVED POLICY

I can hold dolls, jewelry, or anything for up to 6 weeks on Reserve. I will have you put the item in your cart and I will change the first photo to a sign that says "Reserved" and I will put your name and the date on the title. If you need more time, or chance your mind, just email me. The most important factor, to me, is that the spirit and caregiver make the proper connection. If you are not feeling it, please UNRESERVE and give that spirit a chance to find the right connection.

Payment Arrangements or Layways

No layaways or payment arrangements. We no longer do lay-away or payment arrangements as of 3/1/2017. However, we do reserve dolls for up to 6 weeks or longer, and we can also do custom orders

What is Etsy? What is Etsy Checkout?

Etsy is an online marketplace for handmade, arts/crafts supplies, and vintage (over 20 years old). Etsy provides a SECURE checkout with buyer and seller protection, similar to PayPal. The cart is SSL and offers several ways to pay, including PayPal. As an approved seller/store I never see your credit card information.

International Customers PLEASE READ

International packages will be shipped First Class International Mail which can take from 2-6 weeks to receive. If the item is over 4lbs, it will be shipped Priority Int'l, which is more expensive, but faster. Please be patient when ordering to receive your item and note that there might be VAT OR CUSTOMS CHARGES that may apply upon receipt of the order which the customer is solely responsible for.

Sending in Dolls for Evaluation or Makeover

EVALS: If you think your doll is haunted, please contact me to discuss it PRIOR to mailing them in. Once a doll has been sent to me, unless we have discussed an alternative option, I will sell the doll on my shop after the evaluation. All dolls sent to me are mine to keep, unless we discuss otherwise. If you want an evaluation and your doll sent back to you, please email me so I can make a custom listing for the return shipping to you.
MAKEOVERS: If you have a doll that you love but it is falling apart or otherwise needs a makeover, please email me PRIOR to sending it in to me. Makeovers are done on a case by case basis, and are paid for before you send me the doll.

Shipping Methods

USA SHIPPING:
I offer Priority Mail, which will get there fast, usually within 2-3 days. PRIORITY MAIL gives you real-time tracking and insurance.

If you prefer your packages to be shipped in a different manner, please contact me beforehand so we can make arrangements.

OUTSIDE OF USA:
Under 4lbs will go First Class International, and over 4lbs will go Priority mail International. You are responsible for VAT and customs charges where applicable.

Returns

If your order was broken during shipping, or had some other flaw that I did not mention in the listing, please contact me and I will take care of that. I do not accept returns for haunted dolls, all sales are final. I will work with you on any other issue that you might have. Returns for items that do not fit (clothing) or if you just changed your mind, will incur a 15% restocking fee. Buyer pays the return shipping, with tracking. I am not responsible for lost packages you send to me.
